(UPDATE)
To make this clear because some people are confused
Your computer isn't playing the game, your watching an instantaneous HD Video stream of the game your playing on On Lives Supercomputer.
Your controller responses upload instantaneously to the game and the compression rate sends you an HD stream of the game back to your computer in under a millisecond.
They are able to do this with a new form of compression they created called Interactive HD Video Compression.
This allows you to play the HIGHEST end games on a basic computer because your just getting an HD video stream

This platform will support titles by publishers currently on
Xbox 360, PS3 and possibly Wii
And future titles that the current gen consoles cant handle
graphically wise.
OnLive will make upgrading your computer for new games or buying a new generation console obsolete.
OnLive is a new revolutionary gaming platform that uses a plugin into your browser & full screen display to play games on a super cloud-computing server farm while streaming the hi-def video back to you in under a millisecond (reaction times beyond human perception) with their new video compression technology.
(there will be NO response lag. It will perform like LAN)
Consoles will simply never be able to compete with this processing power because everything is run on a SUPER SERVER FARM beyond anything you can buy for home.
So now computers with a GPU from 1995 can play CRISIS on its highest settings as long as you have a:
1.5 M/bit connection (STANDARD DEF)
5 M/bit connection (HIGH-DEF)
OFFICIAL WEBSITE
www.onlive.com/
The OnLive service will be a monthly subscription much like Xbox Live, but you get so much more.

OnLive
Why is this so amazing?
Any computer is turned into a console reguardless of its hardware
All games are played on a sever farm so its LAN gaming online.
The moment a new game is released its already available OnLive to be played.
No waiting to get a game, no need for preorders.
And the games never have to be downloaded. One click and your playing.
OnLive can be played with mouse and keyboard OR a controller
(and you can designate your game to restrict one or the other)
The OnLive Controller

Its been in development for 7 years.
..And..
Its available WINTER 2009!!!

More publishers will be added/announced in summer.
